BYD are rapidly closing in, both in sales and share price.

I've been impressed with what I've seen of their vehicles.

Probably buying a BYD, going by their figures.

Here you go.

I haven't used Mastodon, but if it's anything like Lemmy, most people won't want to bother learning what an instance is or what federation means.

FOSS enthusiasts regularly overestimate how much hassle regular people are willing to put up with to do something, and how much they care about corporations.

They get carried around all day, charged every day, dropped, ports wear out etc. Compared to a computer, they have a hard life, even the most kindly treated ones.

Phones have a hard life compared to a computer, I suspect the number of phones that last four years would be very small, never mind 8.

Who's the sad sack that downvoted this? When was the last time you dropped your laptop in the sink?

First, have you ever cleaned out a Camelbak bladder? They get rank enough with just water in them, no way would I put food in one.

Second, carbohydrate gels.

No, just saying I should have seen this coming.

There's "guaranteed to work" in a literal sense, and there's "guaranteed to work" in the sense that a given outcome is a near certainty.

Are you seriously suggesting nothing whatsoever would happen if Google just didn't update their maps to the new name?

Are you going to chip in for my air fare?

That shows where you are, not who you are.

Tianamen square shows up just fine on Google maps, who is supposedly censoring them?

to allow citizens to call things whatever they want.

I very much doubt that privilege extends to a mapmaker

I'm just the messenger, kid. I'm not even in the USA, I'm in a different hemisphere watching with popcorn.

Good luck over there 🫡

Homie, I was never hiding it.

You're thinking of fascism.

I have some bad news for you.

He's the part of the government that has the power to unilaterally change the name of a location.

That is essentially what they've done by putting Gulf of America in brackets behind the original name.
